ProductionVIEW Super Joystick - Document Rev B.

2 Overview: The Vaddio ProductionVIEW Super Joystick is a unique integration joystick contoller that is based on the ProductionVIEW series of camera controllers. The Super Joystick has six individual RS-232C camera control ports for direct control of PTZ cameras which eliminates the need for daisy chain control cabling. The camera control ports are on RJ-45 connectors which easily connect to Figure 1: ProductionVIEW Super Joystick the Vaddio EZCamera cabling packages using a Cat. 5 wiring standard. Each of the six camera control ports will auto-configure based on the robotic PTZ camera system connected to that port upon boot up. Whether it is a Vaddio, Sony or Canon PTZ camera system the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick senses the cameras and provides for seamless control of the camera functions. Each of the six cameras attached has been supplied with 12 internally stored camera presets effectively removing the internal preset limitations of the camera. Each of the six cameras attached can also be adjusted individually for the operating environment with adjustments for auto/manual focus, auto/manual brightness, backlight compensation and one push automatic white balance. The ProductionVIEW Super Joystick has two rows of six external control switches which can be used in a variety of ways. These switches are tied to trigger outputs and can be used to control external video switchers with contact closures or tally lights for studio applications. The Super Joystick also has provision for external control of select HD switchers/mixers with built-in RS-232 codes in the system menu. And like the ProductionVIEW FX, the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick console has a 4 LCD preview monitor is built-in. Overall, the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick is a unique and advanced camera controller that is unmatched in today s market for functionality, convenience and value.

3 Key Technical Features: Camera Auto-Sensing - The ProductionVIEW Super Joystick is capable of identifying through autosensing of each camera attached. Control codes for the following cameras are built-in: Vaddio WallVIEW Series Cameras* based on the following PTZ Camera Platforms: Vaddio HD-18, Canon VC-C50i& VC-C50iR, Sony EVI-HD1, EVI-D30, EVI-D100 & EVI- D70, BRC-300, BRC-H700, BRC-Z700 Vaddio CeilingVIEW 70 PTZ Series Cameras* Vaddio HideAway Series Cameras* Vaddio Model Series and PTZCam Series Cameras* Vaddio Add-A-Cam PRO Series Camera Systems* Sony EVI-HD1, EVI-D30, EVI-D100 & EVI-D70, BRC-300, BRC-H700, BRC-Z700* Canon VC-C50i & VC-C50iR* *IMPORTANT NOTE: Specifications are subject to change. There are a small number of commands on the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick that will not operate with certain camera platforms. For a list of control exceptions, please contact Vaddio Technical Support. Control of External Video Switchers or other Control Devices Built-in RS-232 Codes The ProductionVIEW Super Joystick has RS-232 codes built-in to the console to control the Edirol V-44SW, Extron ISS-506 and the Analog Way Eventix EVX8022 video switchers. Switcher selection, configuration and transition times are handled through the Menu System. The Extron ISS-506 is a 6x2 seamless switcher that lines up well with the 6x2 external control switches on the front panel. The Edirol is an 8-channel switcher/mixer (4 SD video and 4 HD video) and can be configured for control of 6 of the 8 channels in the following combinations; 3-SD & 3-HD, 4-SD & 2-HD or 4-HD & 2SD. The Analog Way Eventix EVX8022 is an 8x2 switcher/mixer. The Super Joystick switches only the first six inputs, effectively using it as a 6x2 configuration. Currently only these switchers are supported for RS-232 control. Other switchers may be added in future firmware releases. External Triggers/Tally Contacts The ProductionVIEW Super Joystick has 2 rows of 6 external control buttons on the front panel which directly correspond to the External Triggers/Tally Contacts on the rear panel. With these contact closures, video switchers such as the Extron SW series switchers can be controlled from the front panel buttons of the Super Joystick. These triggers can be configured as active high or active low. The contacts are latching, TTL type and are not relays and no voltage should be applied to these triggers at any time. Reporting RS-232 Button Pushes The button pushes on the front panel can also be reported to the RS-232 port allowing for use with an external control system to translate the RS-232 out of the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick to any other RS-232 controllable device available. 3-Axis Hall-Effect Joystick - High quality Hall-Effect joystick allows for control of Pan/Tilt (X/Y coordinates) and the Zoom function (twist for Z or zoom axis). This non-contacting joystick uses industrial quality magnets and sensors, providing solid, consistent performance throughout its entire lifetime. Camera Control - Each camera input has individual control for Pan/Tilt/Zoom and auto/manual focus, auto/manual brightness, backlight compensation and one-push automatic white balance. 72 Total Camera Presets - Dual Mode - Twelve presets per camera input channel are stored internally and are not dependent on the internal presets of the camera. There are two modes for camera preset storage in the ProductionVIEW consoles. All twelve (12) presets can be stored internally, or six can be stored in the camera (1 through 6) and six stored internally (7 through 12). Storing presets in the cameras allows for quicker switching since position feedback is not needed. Speed Switching Modes - The Super Joystick can be set so the External Control A or the External Control B buttons can be tied to the Camera Selection buttons. For example, in Select follows External A mode (Sel Follow Ext A), the Camera Selection buttons follow the External A button pushes which transfers full camera control to that camera selected by the A bus buttons.

6 First Time Set-up with the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick: ProductionVIEW Super Joystick was designed to be exceptionally easy to use and operate right out of the box. The controls are intuitive and logical and the pin-outs are printed on the back panel. Getting Started: To start using the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick, connect the RS-232 Camera Control Ports on the Super Joystick to the RS-232 inputs on the cameras, turn on the cameras and let them home, then turn on the Super Joystick. The Super Joystick will scan each of the cameras connected and automatically load the appropriate RS-232 codes for control of each camera. Any mix of up to six (6) compatible camera systems can be used concurrently on the system (see Figures 4 and 5). In all cases, video would be routed to an external switcher/mixer.

When the Master Power Switch is powered up, all attached cameras will activate and select default camera and preset information as defined in the menu. The ProductionVIEW Super Joystick will scan the inputs for camera type and video signal type and auto-configure accordingly. This can take up to one minute and is normal operation. To power down the ProductionVIEW, press and hold the button for 1 second. This feature eliminates the accidental powering down of the system if the Power switch is bumped. Important Note: When the camera control ports are changed or reconfigured, the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick must be restarted (power cycled) or the cameras must be rescanned for type of camera to allow reloading of the proper control codes.

8 Operating the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick (continued): Setting-up Compatible External Switchers using RS-232 The RS-232 control codes for the Edirol V-44SW, Extron ISS-506 and the Analog Way Eventix external switchers are built-in to the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick. To Activate these codes use the following procedure: 1. Go to the Menu (see page 10) under Video Switcher and select the desired switcher mode. 2. The next item in the menu is the transition time, set this to the desired time. 3. Turn off the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick 4. Connect the external video switcher to the RS-232 Control Port (DB-9) on the back of the Super Joystick. 5. Turn on the external switcher and let it boot up completely. 6. Turn on the Super Joystick and let it boot up completely. 7. Test for proper operation a. External Control A row will control the Preview inputs b. External Control B will control the Program assignment with the Take and Transition Time programmed into a single button push on that row. Setting Camera Presets per Channel: Press and hold the desired camera selection button for 4 seconds. The unused camera presets and camera selection button will flash at this time. Touching a flashing camera preset button, the unit will store all the information available via the camera at this time. A non-flashing or already saved preset location (not-flashing camera preset button) can be overwritten by touching it. Camera presets contain all the camera information besides the Pan/Tilt/Zoom position including brightness, focus, backlight, zoom-speed and others as well. The particular control saved under each camera preset is a function of the parameters available on a per camera basis. Setting the Speed Switching (Camera Selection follows External Control A or B): The Super Joystick can be set so the External Control A or the External Control B buttons can be tied to the Camera Selection buttons. Enter the Menu system and locate Switching Modes. Choose Manual mode, Follow Ext. A mode, or Follow Ext. B mode. In Manual mode, Camera Selection, External Control A and External Control B are all independent. In Follow Ext. A mode, the Camera Selection buttons follow the External A button pushes which transfers full camera control to that camera selected by the A bus buttons. In Follow Ext. B mode, the Camera Selection buttons follow the External B button pushes which transfers full camera control to that camera selected by the B bus buttons. This mode essentially allows the end user to set up Ext. Control A or B up as a Preview Bus with an external switcher and transfer camera control to the camera selected on that bus automatically. Using the Onboard 4 (10.16cm) LCD Monitor: The LCD monitor is a convenience feature and the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick is generally expected to be used with additional higher resolution monitors. The ProductionVIEW Super Joystick has two External Video inputs as a convenience. Note: The LCD is covered with a thin protective film, please remove this film carefully. The 3-Axis Joystick: Within the menus, the 3-axis joystick is programmable for pan, tilt and zoom direction control. The zoomin/zoom-out, tilt-up/tilt-down and pan-left/pan-right commands can be inverted on all 3-axis to customize control of the PTZ cameras attached to ProductionVIEW Super Joystick. On a per camera port basis, tilt direction and pan direction can be inverted allowing maximum flexibility when setting up the Vaddio Add- A-Cam PRO system with the Vaddio Pan/Tilt PRO pan/tilt head. Menu System: The menu system used is both powerful and very flexible to set-up the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick to the preferences of the operator and the requirements of the system. Please review the Menu System on the following pages in order to maximize familiarity with ProductionVIEW Super Joystick and the functions of each parameter. ProductionVIEW Super Joystick Manual Rev.

12 RS-232 Control of the ProductionVIEW Super Joystick Key Feature: The ProductionVIEW Super Joystick has six (6) discrete camera control ports which eliminates the need for daisy-chaining control cabling. With all the ProductionVIEW consoles, all cabling configurations are home-run type or star wiring configurations. Each Channel will auto-configure the input channel for video signal and control for the camera attached. Key Feature: The ProductionVIEW Super Joystick can also be controlled by an external control system such as Crestron or AMX. This flexibility allows for a system to be designed for multiple uses and applications where joystick control of the cameras may only be needed on occasion. Vaddio uses very simple control protocols to accomplish custom programming with the ProductionVIEW consoles.
